Lafayette’s community media center, AOC, is inviting individuals and organizations to record free messages of love to be broadcast on Valentine’s Day.

Those interested can stop by AOC studios and record professions of affinity in the studio’s “Broadcast Your Love” segments from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Thursday. They can also drop off a DVD to AOC.

The messages can be viewed on public access on Cox Communications channels 15 and 16 and LUS Fiber’s channels 3 and 4.

Residents do not have to be members of AOC to participate.

AOC will release a full schedule of broadcast times on Thursday. Videos also will be available on AOC’s YouTube page.
